Welcome to the Sumner School District "Our District Clicks" online test-drive. We thank you in advance for adding your opinions to our survey. We've invited you to watch three short videos (each only one to five minutes in length) as presented below, and then add your comments to a few short questions. For "extra credit," if you wish, you can also get "hands-on" with a special "Sandbox" version of the software created just for you.
What's this all about? Your input will help guide our district's selection of our next-generation,online Content Management System (dubbed "CMS" for short). We've identified four of the most respected and industry leading finalists in our quest for the perfect online information and notification system. Your opinions will contribute to helping us finalize our choice of the very best.
You have been assigned a test-drive of two-of-the-four CMS vendors we are evaluating. Option: If you like, you can go further and test-drive them all.
Let's get started!
First, before starting your test-drive, please double-check the name of the CMS software package you are evaluating.
In this survey you are evaluating the Blackboard Engage CMS, formerly known as Edline. If this is one of the CMS packages you were assigned, please continue. If not, please re-check the "My District Clicks" Web page for your assigned candidates. |

With our new online outlook for the Sumner School District and its student, teacher, parent and public communities, a new look will also appear on our Web pages this Fall. Part of that look may be a new, online version of the traditional Sumner SD logo, a possible indication of how our logo will evolve across all media types, print and electronic. As we explore different options, we'd like your valued opinion on some of the directions taking shape.
Please rank the following design "ideas" or "concepts" in terms of your preferences:
